…...Roger's Speaking...
(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)
(3rd Person Pov – Master Bedroom – Roger Just Appeared)
Riddick kept his eyes on Roger as Luna was holding him back. Snarling, he sat in front of Luna not liking that this man could enter their room without them knowing. Luna needed something to drink and wondered if Riddick could go get something. Before she could even ask there was a knock on the door. Riddick snarled but didn't answer causing Aereon to enter and close the door. Her eyes were going from Luna, to Riddick then back to Roger. Rogers apparition turned and smiled at the wind elemental then turned his eyes back to Riddick. Roger tilted his head to the side and knew just by the look on his son's face that Richard did not believe him, or as Luna called him – Riddick.
…...I am only here to thank my daughter-in-law... Roger looked at Aereon. …..And thank the elemental in helping my son become the best he could be. I know it was hard on you, Richard, but I only did what I thought best... Rogers eyes looked as though he would be crying if he was truly there.
"What did you do that was best?" Riddick hissed as his eyes narrowed. The lights were off but with the glow of Roger there was some light in the room now.
…...I can not stay but I only wished to see that you have the hand prints of your people... Roger stood proud. …...As you should, being their prince. I was the king of our people but did what I thought best. I will now leave you in the care of your mate and guide on your journey. May you finally find peace my son...
Just as Roger appeared, he left them plunging them into a room of darkness. "Lights on 10 percent." Riddick commanded as the lights lit the room for Aereon. "Who the hell was that?" His eyes went from Riddick to Aereon.
"Do you wish me to stay child?" Aereon asked Luna as she cut her eyes to Riddick.
"No." Luna whispered as her throat was rather dry. "But some water would be nice." She cleared her throat slightly.
Aereon smirked as she nodded watching Riddick jump up and rush to get her something to drink. "I shall take my leave then. I believe that things will get back to normal." She turned to leave but Luna stopped her.
"You believe or have you calculated?" Aereon turned to see a smirk in Luna's eyes.
"Both." Aereon answered as she went out the door and it shutting behind her as though she was never there.
Luna swallowed as she saw Riddick walk out the door with a cup in his hand. He brought it over to her and held it out. Luna took it and tried not to shake because she knew that he hated her. Riddick watched and wondered why she wouldn't look up at him. He frowned as he tried to realize what he had done. The only reason he had left was because he wished to take her there on the stone slab in the quasi-dead chamber. Riddick couldn't do that to her thus he left before he did something they both regretted. He could feel her fear before he left. It was fear of him and what he was capable of.
(Luna's Pov – Aereon just Left)
I took the cup and took a drink. I wondered what he wanted from me because I knew that he hated me. I had ran away to save my sister when he was going to but I felt as though it had to be me. I dropped my eyes knowing that if I looked at him one more minute I would break down crying. Never before have I felt such love for someone that brought me to my knees but not just that. I felt that he completed me in every way possible. I truly hoped that he would at least let me stay in Necropolis because I had no where else possible. I knew that this would be the only place that I would ever fit in because of my past. I took another drink and sat the cup down. Riddick and I needed to talk but there were things I needed to say.
"Riddick," I whispered as I played with the hem of the long gown I was in. "I know that you hate..." I didn't even get the words out before I was picked up by my upper arms and was looking Riddick right in the face.
"Is that what's bothering you?" His eyes were hard but his tone soft. "Tell me." He said as though he was pleading then I looked deeper into his eyes.
Did he love me after all? I thought as I stared into his eyes.
Yes he does. Ruby interrupted her thoughts. He worried til you come back. Pacing in front of door. Week of worry.
A WEEK! I yelled at her in my mind. I was gone a week!
Yes, you gone week. Ruby hissed at me mentally. He thought you dead many times.
I could talk to her anymore because I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to me. His hands slid from my upper arms to around my waist holding me up. Riddick then set me down as he knelt in front of me on his knees while I was sitting on the bed. I wouldn't let him go no matter how hard he tried.
"I'm sorry." I whispered as I nuzzled his neck and breathed in his scent. "I had to go but I had help on the other side. Your father, the man you just saw." When I pulled back I saw that his eyes were wide.
"I'm sorry the way I acted when you came back." He shook his head. "I shouldn't have tried to jump you." I could see the pain in his eyes but I just realized what he said.
"You were wanting to..." I cut myself off as Riddick sighed closing, his eyes and nodded. "But you stopped yourself."
"Yes." He whispered quietly. I almost couldn't hear him.
I couldn't help but laugh as I realized that I had no reason to be afraid. He wasn't upset with me about leaving, he was just as horny as me. I pulled him forward and kissed him with everything I had. His hands made it to my side as he held me and kissed me with renewed passion. When I pulled back, I knew my face was flushed because of the fact Riddick's eyes were shining. I couldn't speak as he pulled away and pulled me to my feet. His hands cupped my face, with tenderness that I never thought he possessed, and kissed me as his hands moved down over my shoulders and to my back pulling me close. My little tummy was the only thing I hated about me but I could tell that Riddick loved it. His left hand was rubbing circles on my stomach while his right was on my back.
"Riddick?" I whispered, almost a question as I pulled away for a minute. "Can I ask you something before we go any further?" I finally wanted to know what he felt when I came back.
"What my angel?" He whispered kissing my neck his hands in the same place.
I swallowed and pulled back on his head. "Will you look at me first?" I asked and felt him smirk.
"No." He murmured as he kept kissing my neck.
I swallowed again as I prepared myself for the worse. I knew that he told me that he loved me but was he in love with me? "Riddick, are you..." I licked my lips when he paused. "Are you in love with me? I know that you said that you loved me but are you IN love with me?" I waited for him to speak but he just stilled. I worried that he would say no but then he spoke the words I longed to hear.
"Yes." He answered as he pulled back and looked me in the eyes, his right hand came up and cupped my cheek. "I'm in love with my mate, My Luna." Riddick smirked his normal smirk and all I could do is smile.
"I'm in love with you, too." I whispered pass the lump in my throat.
His eyes changed slightly as they grew hotter then I had ever seen them. "Say it again." Riddick ordered in a gruff tone.
"I'm in love with you, Richard B. Riddick." I smiled and tilted my head into his hand. "I think I have been since I first saw you." I locked eyes with his and his was so fast that one minute I was looking in his eyes. The next my mouth was being devoured.
I moaned as I pulled him closer. Riddick pulled away and scooped me up then walked over to the bed and layed me down as gentle as he could. He just stood there for a moment as his eyes moved over me. I couldn't help the blush that spread across my face because I felt like a beached earth whale but the way he was looking at me was if I was something for him to devour. Finally Riddick pulled his tank over his head and tossed it into the darkness. He layed down next to me as his right hand ran over my chest, cupping each breast as he went, then went down until I layed on my stomach. His eyes closed and I could tell that he was happy. His left hand was propping him up as his right layed on me. I layed my hands over his and just watched as he concentrated on something. I suddenly felt a kick which caused Riddick's eyes to snap open.
"Isn't it too soon?" Riddick whispered his eyes finding mine.
I grinned and shrugged. "I don't know." I tried to think of something then I remembered that Ruby had seen a couple of Furyan's born before the evasion. "We can ask Ruby and Killer."
It is not to soon. Ruby told me and I was sure that Killer was speaking with Riddick. Furyan pregnancy only last for 6 months were most other pregnancies last a little over 9 months.
My eyes widen as I looked up at Riddick. "Six months." I whispered and he nodded that Killer told him as well. "We're gonna be parents in 6 months." I felt tears pricking the back of my eyes.
"Yeah." Riddick smirked as he kissed me. "Are you happy?" He asked his silver eyes shining with the love he felt for me.
"More than I thought possible." I smiled up at Riddick. My heart so full of love that it felt like it would burst. "I love you with all my heart Richard."
Riddick growled as he buried his face in my stomach nuzzling me and the baby. I sighed contently as I fell asleep with my arms holding Riddick's head to my stomach. Being pregnant was a lot more tiring then I thought ti would be but I knew that it would be filled with happiness because I had the one thing I loved more then anything. Which reminded me that I needed to speak to Kyra. I pushed that thought out of my head because I could always talk to her later. I didn't want to move and Riddick didn't want me moving either. I could tell he was happy the way his arms tightened when I wiggled a little bit but other then that he just held me. I quickly dozed back off because I knew soon I wouldn't be sleeping a lot.
(Kyra's Pov – 2 Rooms From The Master Bed Room – Same Time)
The first thing I noticed when I came to was that I wasn't alone in the room and that I was on a bed. My whole body felt like someone ran me over over and over again. I could tell the lights were on dim but my eyes were really sensitive right now. I opened my mouth but I couldn't speak because my throat was dry like the Crematoria surface. Then I heard someone stand and walk over to where I was lying.
"Do you wish to get a drink?" The smooth honey silk voice asked me and I knew it was a man.
I didn't say anything, not that I could, and nodded my answer. I heard movement then I was being helped up and a glass was brought to my mouth. I drank it down as though I had never drank something so wonderful and it was only water. When I knew I could talk, I tried to open my eyes but the lights were on full.
"Lights on 10%." I whispered as my eyes were clenched tightly.
"Are the lights hurting your eyes?" The voice asked. "I'm sorry I did not know."
"S'kay." I told him as I opened my eyes and looked at a man that made my heart falter for a slip second. "What's your name?" I asked trying to keep the blush off my face.
"Nathaniel but your sister calls me Nate." Nathaniel smiled and I had to agree with Luna he was definitely a Nate.
"Thanks for watching over me." I whispered looking around. "Where's Luna and Riddick?" I couldn't help but wonder if they were fighting or what. I worried for her health.
Nate smiled and took one of my hands. I was glad I was sitting on the bed or I would have fallen at his feet. "In their room, two doors down to the right. You are in one of the family rooms on Necropolis." I stiffened when they mentioned the Necros. "Do not worry. You remember that Lord Riddick killed the Lord that took your life, do you not?"
I closed my eyes and nodded. That was something I could have lived without remembering. The look of betrayal that was on Riddick's face when I couldn't speak the way I wanted and the look of hopelessness on Luna's face when she watched me die. I shivered at the memory and felt arms wrap around me. I didn't mind because I knew it was Nate. His scent was strong like a forest. Not cold like the other Necros that I ran into.
"Riddick has stopped all converting and has even helped with the remodeling of Heilon Prime." Nate whispered as he rubbed soothing circles on my back. "The elders of Heilon has pardoned Riddick and Luna of all crimes as long as they change their ways. I do believe that gaining his position has helped our lord." He raised my head up and wiped the tears off my cheek. "I have even met a wonderful woman."
I gasped when he bent forward and his lips touched mine but the magic was short lived when Riddick and Luna busted into the room with anger on their face.
Oh Shit! Was the only thing going through my mind.
(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)

Kyra had just woken up and unable to fight if she wished but they don't know that. Will there be a fight? Or will Kyra plead her case?
